Mark:

Does the drive 'automount' a disk when you put one in the drive?  I 
tried to mount my IDE drive at /dev/hdc to /media/cdrecorder and with no 
media (read: disk) in the drive it would not mount.  Put a disk in it, 
be it a blank CD-R/RW or a data disk and it would mount 'automagically'. 
  This was under FC2 or FC3.  I also have an external USB drive and the 
same thing happens.
What does your /etc/fstab file have for this drive?  There should be an 
entry for the drive if it was connected at boot time.
